So, I'm spending time with this man because I like his company and it gives me something to do. Before, I ate out and just spent my time sleeping. So, he gives me something to do. I also like the fact we give each other space. He has his work and I have mine. I try not to interfere with his work and neither does he. So, we have an understanding that we meet when we both have time.

I am not perfect myself so don't expect perfection from him. I come from a highly dysfunctional family. My parents never told me about dating and the opposite sex. I learned everything on my own. They never told me to be with anybody and never encouraged me to be with anyone. Actually, they never wanted me to marry and to live for them. I realized their selfishness and decided to learn on my own. I do have baggage myself. I can't expect another man to accept me if I don't accept him. So, I know I should have high standards about men but right now I just want companionship and friendship. I am not asking for much. He is nice to me and decent. He treats me well. So, I have no complaints. Yes, he could turn into jerk and may become manipulative. But, so far he has not.

He comes from a good family unlike mine. He is close to his sister and her family since he has no kids. I am not sure yet if I want a long-term relationship with him since we are taking it one day at a time. I will see in about a month or two if our relationship leads anywhere.

I am enjoying his company for now. I am not seeking anything nor demanding anything serious for now. We hardly know each other.. It takes time to build a good relationship. So, I'm just being myself and allowing him to be himself.

I am happy with him so far. I will become worried if he seems less than enthusiastic about me. So far, it is going well. I could be inquisitive but appreciate when he tells me on his own about himself. He asks me about my family too but not too much. I think he is trying to get to know me as a person as I am with him. As people say, he could lie about himself so asking him about his life is rather useless. I base my opinion on how he treats me and how he is with me. Actions speak louder than words.
